Martingale MACD Strategy

This strategy replicates the original MQL "MartGreg_1" expert in the StockSharp framework. It uses two Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicators to search for reversals and applies a martingale rule for position sizing.

How it works

  • The first MACD searches for local extremes on the last three finished candles.
  • The second MACD compares the last two values to determine momentum direction.
  • A long position is opened when the first MACD forms a valley and the second MACD decreases.
  • A short position is opened when the first MACD forms a peak and the second MACD increases.
  • After every losing trade the next order size is doubled up to the configured limit.
  • Stop loss and take profit are set in absolute price points.

Parameters

  • Shape – divider for calculating initial volume from account balance.
  • Doubling Count – maximum number of consecutive doublings after losses.
  • Stop Loss – protective stop in points.
  • Take Profit – profit target in points.
  • MACD1 Fast/Slow – periods for the first MACD.
  • MACD2 Fast/Slow – periods for the second MACD.
  • Candle Type – timeframe for analysis.
